Texas Tactical holds several Tactical Carbine Matches throughout the year! The objective of these matches is to allow people to become more familiar with and to improve and test their skills in a simulated CQC (close quarters combat) environment with the rifles they have chosen to defend themselves and their loved ones!

MATCH DESCRIPTION

Tactical Carbine matches generally consist of 5 stages based on self defense scenarios. The
distances we shoot from are varied from contact out to 100+ yards, with the majority of shots being fired from 10 - 40 yards. The rules are loosely based on IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) doctrine. We use the Vickers count scoring system in conjunction with the IDPA silhouette targets. Vickers count scoring combines time elapsed and points down on the target.
This type scoring stresses a good balance of speed and accuracy. Proper use of available cover is expected and required. The course description given before each course of fire is very specific about what is expected!
